Bras, undies and shapewear are items most of us wear daily. They can serve many purposes, make us feel sexy and give us a little extra support when and where we need it most. One thing we all want out of our undergarments is comfort. Paying a lot of money for something you want to rip off your body the second you get home is a tough pill to swallow.

And since most dressy events, when we wear shapewear, have food and drinks as part of the entertainment, we want some support and flexibility.

Whether you’re looking to spice up your undergarments supply, find comfortable everyday shapewear to wear under your clothing, or want to invest in something that feels like second skin, you've come to the right place. We’ve polled our audience and here are a few of our favorite undergarments:

Bliss Perfection Underwire Contour Bra

This bra has it all. It’s comfortable, has an underwire and is great to wear under anything because the cups are smooth. A hint of lace in the front and sides gives it a feminine touch. The Bliss Perfection Bra runs true to size, comes in five colors, and retails for $70.

Joyspun Thongs

These boast some of the best bargains when it comes to underwear. These Joyspun thongs aren’t lacy or silky, which makes me a lot more comfortable. They come in a six-pack and range in size from XS-3XL. The different fabrics are cute and sexy and will give you a seamless look. Many reviewers say these are the most comfortable thongs they’ve ever worn. A six-pack retails for $11.

This bra from Soma is overwhelmingly popular. It has an ultra-feminine, sexy look but offers lots of support and can be worn every day. It comes in five colors, goes up to size 44H and retails for $56.

Soma Vanishing Edge Undies

Say goodbye to annoying wedgies and underwear that won’t stay in place. The Soma Vanishing Edge Microfiber Hipster Undies are a favorite because they won’t shift around, can be worn with anything, and are incredibly comfortable. They retail for $18, but Soma often has a buy three, get two free deal.

Warners No Pinching, No Problems Hipsters

Warners has a great line that won’t dig into your hips, pinch or leave you with a muffin top. These undies offer full coverage and have a pretty lace band. They come in sizes S-2XL and retail for $12 for a pack of three.
